The only Japanese ready meal I have tried from Marks and Spencers was the chicken katsu which I found the curry sauce too sweet.
Someone ended up buying the Taste of Japan Japanese favourites which serves two.
Included in the box is crispy chicken bites in a sticky teriyaki sauce, katsu chicken curry with red peppers and water chestnuts and firecracker chicken thighs with sugar snap peas, alongside chicken miso yaki noodles and seasoned jasmine and long grain rice.
Portion wise it was embarrassing to share especially the firecracker chicken and noodles because it was ideal for one person only.
The crispy chicken bites were basically the same as the crispy chicken for the katsu but in the form of bites.
I didn't like the katsu chicken curry as I found it too sweet but the firecracker chicken was delicious because it was spicy and moderately sweet.
The noodles had a good chew in this strong salty miso sauce.
Overall, it was ok but the portions were a bit small and I did not like the sweet curry.
Why is this called Japanese? It has nothing to do with Japanese food. Even the rice is basmati with some cardamon flavour? More Chinese than Japanese really!
ReplyDeleteglad you agree
